Getting healthy, finding time to be more active, and spending time at the gym are all part of many people’s New Year’s resolutions. But as we all know, starting a new healthy habit is not that easy. The first few days might be a breeze because you’re excited about the new year and determined to meet your goals. But that’s when we start to lose the motivation to keep going. No more! Our new blend Motivation from our Ready, Set, Go! Set was carefully crafted to help support you on your journey.
Motivation
Motivation was designed to help open up airways, support calm/steady breathing and emotions, to give a bright boost of energy, and to re-establish focus. This blend makes exercising feel easy and enjoyable. When diluted and applied topically, Motivation helps to ease sore, overworked muscles. Getting a great workout takes motivation, energy, and a desire to go, go, go — even when it starts to hurt so good!

What’s In It
Peppermint: Energetically, Peppermint awakens the mind and reduces feelings of fatigue. It helps to uplift, refresh, and stimulate while supporting feelings of self-confidence. When applied topically, this oil provides an analgesic effect and helps to cool the body. It’s a go-to oil for any workout enthusiast, whether inhaled or applied topically.
Juniper Berry: This essential oil helps us to release negative thinking, drives out negative forces, and is useful when feeling burdened. And let’s face it, sometimes when you’re trying to get motivated to work out or are just a few minutes into your routine, those negative thoughts really try to throw us off course! Juniper Berry can help to clear the negative while supporting the positive. Topically, Juniper Berry brings analgesic properties and supports circulation. It is known as a decongestant making it a great choice for supporting clear breathing.
Blood Orange: Invigorating to the mind yet calming and soothing, Blood Orange provides this blend with a sweet, uplifting aroma. Energetically, it helps to soothe when overwhelmed and releases stagnant energy.
May Chang: Another bright, energizing oil that packs a lot of motivational power! It is known to help promote optimism and is especially useful during times of fatigue. When used topically, May Change supports relief from inflammation and muscle tension.
Laurel Leaf: We are all beings of boundless potential — and that’s the kind of attitude that Laurel Leaf supports! It boosts confidence while encouraging a positive outlook and helps to focus attention and concentration. Plus, it helps support clear breathing by helping to relieve respiratory congestion.
How to Use It
A great way to use Motivation when you’re exercising is to keep a personal aromatherapy inhaler nearby. If you do yoga or workout at home, add 1-3 drops per 100 mL of water to your diffuser.
